susan rice, jay carney was going out of his way to say it was a terrorist attack. the president himself went to the u.n. several weeks later, still talking about the tape. they were talking about a demonstration that was never held. i would expect the president to say on september 12th, this was a terrorist attack. but to ignore the fact that al-qaeda affiliates from that region, there had been terrorist attacks before, to me, this was politics at its worst. >> you've accused the administration of telling misleading stories and contradicts stories and to be fair, administration officials did talk about the movie being to blame. they did say the attack wasn't premeditated and were at least inconsistent on the word, terror. rudy giuliani said this wasn't the result of confusion, incompetence, i'm going to quote him, sounds like a cover up. would you go that far? >> yes, i would. i'm not saying this is a criminal cover up. this is a political cover up because it went against the president's narrative. he could not acknowledge there was a terrorist attack because he ha

jay carney today took those e-mails and described them as open source unclassified e-mails. they also raised new questions as to why the white house waited eight days to label the attack a terrorist attack. >> the independent accountability review board is hard at work reviewing everything. not cherry picking, but really looking at everything. which i highly recommend as the inappropriate approach to something as complex as an attack like this. >> now, this is very important. clinton added and i want to quote her, posing something on facebook is not in and of itself, evidence. that was her way of saying that e-mail was off a facebook posting, but suzanne kelly is reporting the reason the suspect is in custody is because of information he posted on facebook and other websites. jason clark, jason chafe its, appreciate your taking the time. she appeared to chuckle a little bit as she talked about an independent review. she said we're not cherry picking. obviously, that's become a very politicized term over the past month. u do you think the more and more you hear, the more clou
